Reviews
Mustering her courage, Lucy Brenner has left her possessive husband, moved to a new city, and become a librarian. Now a long-forgotten cousin has died and left Lucy an unfinished novel and a moribund detective agency. Intrigued, Lucy decides to give up her library job and become a full-fledged detective. She's also determined to find out the truth behind her cousin's death. Meanwhile, she attracts several new cases involving missing heirs and agoraphobic women. Detective Lucy's most endearing qualities--and her greatest weaknesses--are her naiveteand her fertile imagination, which lead her to get the wrong end of the stick quite often. But she also has occasional flashes of brilliance, and by story's end, she's found a new beau and a new profession (a sad loss for librarianship!). Told with Wright's usual skill and gentle humor, this cleverly plotted mystery is fanciful fun, and Lucy Brenner is a one-of-a-kind delight. Emily Melton
